C3EN Minigrant Awardee: Daniel Schober
I see community health workers as a vital link between the health system and local communities. This C3EN minigrant has given me the opportunity to explore these factors more deeply and consider how CHW’s can promote use of government benefits and educate local people about how to use these benefits to best support their health.
